DLA Tribunal next week, I am somewhat terrified

proud twin mummy

Back in January I made a claim for DLA for my son and was outright refused, on reconsideration again refused and we now have the tribunal appeal hearing next week.

I am so worried about it although i have nothing to lose as the claim was outright refused but being face to face with 3/4 people discussing my sons complex needs really does seem daunting.

Is it common to be refused outright on your first ever claim?

Reasons for decision were:

Refusal to walk is a conscious choice & and nursery indicate thats support is required sometimes but nothing that would amount to more then an hour a day.

Do I have to go in that room and just argue against these issues or just say what day to day is like? Refusal to walk is mobility which was not expecting anyway so it seems he was refused based an a playschool report alone as the only evidence.

Any advice welcome, thank you xx

  • It is easy for them to bully one on one,, for stress reasons(autism), I never try and submit a claim by myself. I need my supportive ring, I found that out the hard way, via assessment and stress. The system actually MAKES YOU ILL, hence I think it is a satanic machine and the ones assessing are demons in human clothing.

    Try and get as much information from GP, a letter that retracts that comment from the nursery. Go to that medical, do not be intimated,, just be yourself. It maybe an idea to tell them what you intend to do with any claim money. It normally goes to a third party anyway for expenses.

    Pity the NAS can not go along with you, great supportive Autism Society as it is. Tongue Out
